Go with the HD4850, it's a bit cheaper and outperforms the 9800GTX in many games. I'm not a big fan of the ATi drivers though, meh personal preference really. Not much difference between them, it's going to vary between games. Flip a coin ;)

Everything i've read says that the 9800GTX is a nose ahead. But the ATi 4850 is cheaper. So i'd buy an ATI 4850 or look at the ATi 4870

i think it's an x38 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131219

get the 4850, better price to performance and down the track, if you want more performance, you can buy another 4850 and use 2 at the same time (crossfireX).

Told you that a 9800GTX is a bees dick ahead of the ATI 4850. Still i'd get a ATI4850 because it is cheaper

I just got a 4870 and it is fucking HUGE! Performs really well, and I did my research on it before I got it.
I would go for the 4850 for value, or save another 80 and go the 70.

the 4850 is best bang for bux on the market and a kick arse card if you have the hard ware to unleash all its power. The 9800s clock like a mother fucker and are typically better cards. So meh.

Personally I'd go for one of these. http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=14888&page=2
